No joke: raw eggs in a sugar free cookie dough can be highly nutritious and gut healing if you source the eggs from properly pasture raised chickens virtually eliminating the risk of salmonella, but if you’re looking for an easy, gluten free, plant based way to snack on cookie dough without the side of insulin resistance or pre-diabetes, this may just be your recipe.

Not only does this recipe use SPROUTED chickpeas, it also contains no refined sugar, takes about 15-20 minutes to make, and you could even have them for breakfast (as is recommended for all of my dessert recipes here). Most importantly—it’s delicious!

The chocolate is made from scratch, infused with local, wildcrafted, versatile chaga (inonotus obliquus) tincture that has been dual extracted with organic alcohol and purified spring water for bioavailability: a powerful, healing medicinal mushroom with polyphenols, polysaccharides, minerals, vitamins B2 and D2, melanin, beta-glucans, phytosterols, superoxide dismutase (SOD), 200+ phytonutrients, and triterpenes like betulinic acid, densely packed with antioxidants and many other beneficial nutrients, according to over 190 research studies.

I’m kind of obsessed with it.

Other benefits of chaga mushroom, aka the king of medicinal mushrooms, can include: emotional and physical stress adaptation with potent immune modulation and support especially with the pandemic, improving cognitive function and memory loss (inducing neurogenesis), increases metabolism, aids the endocrine system, reduces inflammation, can selectively shrink some types of cancerous tumours and cancer cells (colon, cervix, brain, hepatoma, and lung) through its betulinic acid while leaving healthy cells untouched, adaptogenic, battles sun damage, removes certain internal parasites, prevent and slow cancer via the anticancer compounds betulin, betulinic acid, lupeol and triterpenes, DNA protection, anti-viral properties, reduces pain, detoxifying to the blood and liver, lowers and balances blood sugar by increasing insulin sensitivity, protects the heart, improves circulation, digestion, and the intestines, boosts exercise endurance, balances cholesterol, supports graceful aging, and is a source of chemotherapy & radiation therapy protection, including protection from EMFs. Many experts consider it to be one of the most potent natural foods for autoimmune conditions. Feel free to head on over to Google Scholar to keep up with the wealth of research further proving this medicinal powerhouse’s magical capabilities.

Suro is personally my favourite brand that uses purified spring water and organic (non-GMO) alcohol for its ethically, sustainably wildharvested extractions. Chaga is generally well-tolerated as a whole food “supplement”, but should be taken in moderation or in small amounts over time as it contains oxalates, and can interfere with blood thinning medications, as a natural blood thinner itself.

If you choose to boil ethically, sustainably harvested chaga chunks for a weaker extraction as a tea, you can add a pinch of magnesium chloride to the solution for the magnesium ions to bind to the oxalate, helping it flush through the urine more efficiently than calcium oxalate does.

Many companies are already doing the work for you. Try finding a source near you that you can trust.

Chaga is significant in ethnomycology, forest ecology, and increasingly in pharmacognosy. Its long-term human use and cultural eastern European and Russian acceptance should awaken serious researchers to its potential as a reservoir of new medicines, and as a powerful preventive ally for protecting DNA.

Have yourself a little magnesium party with these easy to make, no bake chocolate chickpea cookie dough bars. Naturally sweetened with a touch of maple syrup, the nourishing chaga infused chocolate topping is made from scratch without added fillers, preservatives, refined sugars, or other substances that can disrupt the gut microbiome's delicate balance.

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Course Appetizer, Breakfast, Snack
Servings 6 bars

Ingredients
  

For the base

  • 2.5 cups sprouted organic chickpeas, cooked and drained
  • 1/2 cup organic almond meal
  • 2 tbsp raw organic unhulled tahini
  • 2 tbsp local organic maple syrup
  • 1 pinch organic ground cardamom
  • 1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt
  • 1/3 cup raw organic cacao nibs

For the topping

  • 1 cup raw organic cacao powder
  • 1 tbsp organic maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp organic vanilla bean
  • 1/3 cup organic cacao butter
  • 1/3 cup organic coconut butter
  • 1/4 cup virgin cold-pressed organic coconut oil
  • 1 dropper wildcrafted chaga tincture
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • flaky sea salt to garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor fitted with the "S" blade, pulse the chickpeas, almond meal, tahini, maple syrup, cardamom and sea salt into a smooth dough. Add in the cacao nibs and briefly pulse to combine them with the dough.
  • Place the dough in a baking dish or pan lined with unbleached biodegradable parchment paper, and use your hands to form a square.
  • Melt the chocolate ingredients in a double boiler or in a small saucepan on the stovetop. Continuously whisk to combine until it turns into a sauce. Pour 1/2 cup or more of it over the cookie dough, you can choose to make a thinner layer and save the rest for other recipes if you like.
  • Place the bars in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
  • Remove, top with flaky sea salt, cut into slices, and serve.

Notes

  • Store bars in the fridge or for a longer period of time in the freezer.
  • It’s highly recommended to properly sprout the chickpeas before consuming, as this will make them bioavailable and digestible. Soak them in properly filtered water until they increase in size, then add more water, cover with a towel, and wait for them to sprout over the 24-72 hours, changing the water once a day. Rinse, boil for 5 minutes, drain, and cool before using.

seasonal, local, ethically raised, beyond organic, nourishing, healing, nutrient-dense, and freakin’ delicious. 

when I think of the sacred bison, I think about the connection to the land, reparations and restorations to the traditional custodians of this land, and ways we could live in harmony, grace, and abundance as different expressions of the One.

it’s still chilly in the northern hemisphere and the simplicity of ethically raised animal foods is just my kind of thing where I’m at. use code ROOTTOSKY15 for $15 off your first order at wildmeadowsfarm.ca / @wildmeadowsfarm_ontario!

raw schisandra carob beet velvet slice with probiotic mac nut frosting 🌰✨

i’ve had a bunch of schisandra hanging out in my pantry with no idea how to use it in a recipe due to its complex flavours (five flavours, to be exact). recently i had an “a-ha!” moment where i discovered that it created a perfect contrast to the earthy beets and tangy citrus frosting in this raw slice! recommended for breakfast or whenever.

benefits of schisandra include:

-adaptogenic superpowers
-balances nervous system
-improves brain function
-elevates immunity
-increases alertness and energy levels
-prevents adrenal fatigue
-stabilizes blood sugars
-supports digestion
-improves wake and sleep patterns
-promotes circulation
-hormone balance
-liver detoxification and purification; protects liver from environmental toxins
-supports all five major organs
-increased intracellular glutathione levels
-supports qi (life force energy), with a positive impact on several meridians in the body, including the heart, lungs, and kidneys
-neuroprotective elements
-anti-fatigue properties
-can help with breathing problems
-promotes youthful exuberance & graceful aging
-antidepressive effects

blue lotus/black sesame dream tonic 🌸👽 blue blue lotus/black sesame dream tonic 🌸👽

blue lotus is noted for its calming euphoric, aphrodisiac and sedative qualities. it has a history of use in ancient egypt as a sacred narcotic, mentally stimulating or sedating depending on dosage. for me it has been subtle and has helped me remember and process incredibly vivid and poignant dreams!

blue lotus possesses potent antihistaminic, anti-inflammatory, and anxiolytic properties, and relieves allergies to all plants and animals. it also relieves glutamate from NMDA receptors and increases GABA activity, relieving seizures as well as drug addiction, and is anti-addictive and non-toxic.

ingredients:
1 cup blue lotus tea, freshly brewed in a large serving mug or other vessel @wildbloom.botanicals 
2 cups black sesame milk
1 tsp raw local honey @backedbybees 
1/4 tsp mucuna pruriens @sunpotion 
1/4 tsp vanilla tincture
1 pinch mayan or celtic sea salt

method:
blend all ingredients except for the tea, then pour into the mug to combine. garnish with blue lotus and extra seeds. ✨🤍

🥛 for the black sesame milk:
soak 1 cup black sesame seeds in filtered water overnight. strain, then blend the seeds with 3 cups filtered/spring water, it’ll turn grey. strain the seed milk into a large mason jar, keeps in the fridge up to a week. use the seed pulp in baking!
